Apple Orchard Inn

A Serene Getaway with Unmatched Hospitality From the moment I arrived, this charming bed & breakfast felt like a hidden haven of peace and beauty. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees and framed by stunning mountain views, the setting alone invites you to relax and take a deep breath. The ambiance is serene and calming—every corner seems to whisper, slow down, you're in good hands. The rooms are thoughtfully maintained, and the beds are incredibly comfortable—perfect for a restful night’s sleep. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the hospitality. The owners go above and beyond, offering what might be the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. From a delicious, made-to-order breakfast with farm-fresh eggs and a surprise morning treat, to bottomless coffee served with genuine warmth, every detail is done with care. They even accommodated my unique sleeping arrangement without hesitation and made the room feel extra special. I’m so grateful I booked this place—it exceeded all expectations. I’ll absolutely be returning, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, unforgettable stay.

James and Leslie are very nice! We enjoy our stay, the breakfast was the highlight of our stay with different dish each morning, highly appreciate it. close to the hot spring. you can get towels for the hot spring from the owners :)

Oh, what a nice property! Little houses, separated from each other in a well-maintained orchard. Birds are singing in the garden, and a small creek is running through it. The little houses offer a lot of privacy. Unfortunately, during the night, the close road was a little noisy. At the lovely breakfast, we had a nice chat with the owners and other guests. The on-site freshly made omelette and the English biscuit with butter and self-made jam were not a lot of food but yummy!

We upgraded to a cottage that became available just before our arrival. It was like heaven! We had a porch with rocking chairs and a swing which we took full advantage of by toasting our arrival in Durango. The cottage was quaint and romantic and perfect for our vacation stay. The bed was so comfortable and the AC worked efficiently. The grounds were lushly planted with natural foliage and stunning flowers. The green lawns invited taking off one's shoes to feel the cool, soft grass caress one's toes (coming from the desert this was a true delight!). Little streams ran throughout the property. Chickens clucked and socialized in their coop, and presumably laid the eggs we enjoyed for breakfast the next morning. The breakfast apple compote was divine and set the stage for the delicious homemade quiche (we had a selection of three) and the scrumptious coffee cake. The indoor dining area was charming and gave us the opportunity to chat with our hosts who were both very interesting, accomplished and engaging people. There was a beautiful, lush patio area as well in which many guests chose to sit to enjoy their breakfast. Before we departed, we ordered a fresh baked apple pie - OMG, it was beyond delicious! We snacked on it during the rest of our road trip and it just got better!

Location is excellent: far enough out of town to avoid the crowds and traffic. The owners, Jim and Leslie, are excellent hosts: very welcoming and easy to chat with. The ambiance of the grounds is superb: foliage, brook running through the property, no bugs, pond.
